How far to drive to buy?
Once I bought a sailplane locally. I was back home in one hour.
Many drive coast to coast to buy? Is that logical? How many miles should someone drive to buy a sailplane? I say one day each way is max. GA

As far as Necessary for the right Sailplane, or as far as possible as
Oceans occasionally get in the way!

I had the advantage of complete ignorance of what I wanted, coupled with a very low budget. A glider was for sale from another club member, people said it was a good glider, and I could afford it, so I bought it. Good thing, since I couldn't tow it behind my motorcycle. If I want an SZD-59 with winglets (or a SISU1A), and the only one for sale is 2,000 miles away, I'd go for a drive.

What Paul said.
I drove two days, each way, to pick up my current glider. And that was after it came over from Germany on a boat!

I drove 2000 miles from Montana to Virginia to buy a $3700 wood BG-12,
then back through the some of the worst driving weather I've ever experienced. I was a poor grad student at the time, and a set of wings were priceless to me. Got my Gold Badge in that one and learned a heck of a lot.
